October. A hint of fall in the air. Back to Onion Creek for a game against Lofty FC. Wait, what’s that, 3 subs in Badgertown! (well, for the first half anyway) A Nasty Nate sighting! Danimal was back. Babies, children, two tents….. things were looking positive for Cameron Road during the pre-game build up. The…
Sunday brought the bi-annual pilgrimage to the high plains of NEMP. Jefe was (of course) first to the field to set up Badgertown and greet the players. The patchwork pitch was actually looking slightly less than terrible, with strange patches of St. Augustine sprouting up inside the 18 yard boxes, and rolling hills of semi-green…
The Match Report according to Jefe: They scored on us on a break away five minuted into the game. Jeff Z intercepted the ball but it went right to their guy, Todd. Of course his name is Todd…. he’s cool though. He was on the wrong side of me and it was a race to…
The musty jersey that has been sitting in the trunk of your car for a month. The search for the 2nd red sock. The shameful pre-game trek to the port-o-potty. The stickers covering the ball in pre-game warmup. Ahh, the sights and smells for Opening Day at Onion Creek. The Honey Badgers suited up for…
Another beautiful 8am game at the Clark Field Stadium. Green grass, musical vibes, Ciro had Starbucks and Jefe had a pre-game Twisted Tea. All was good…. except there wasn’t a keeper in sight with Jaybone reenacting the 1985 smash hit Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey in his living room. “Billy, you want…
So many story lines as the Honey Badgers capped off their championship season with a 3-1 victory over Balcones Fault FC. With the Jugglers losing prior to kickoff, the Badgers ended the season with a dominating 8 point margin at the top of the Over 40B table. Champions baby, champions. With the season wrapped up,…
Needing one point in the final two games to claim the Over 40B title, a short-handed CRU took the pitch against the dreaded Jugglers with dreams of another title on their minds. It was another week of “next man up” as half the squad was either injured, out of town, battling COVID, or raising a…
This was gonna be a tough one. The Honey Badgers were in desperate need of 11 players not injured, out of town, or missing in action. Luckily, no small thanks to Chris Peterson’s social media blitz, 11 players showed up and took the pitch to face the Old Boys on a beautiful Sunday morning. The…
In a rematch of the season’s opening day loss, Cameron Road wanted revenge on Travis FC on a boiling hot Sunday afternoon. Way too hot for April, but so goes Texas. The Honey Badgers had a lone sub on the sidelines and Travis FC showed up with none. The Badgers are on a roll with…
Gigi remained unstoppable. A new Bald Dome of Power took center stage. Andy had white socks.
On a glorious, sunny day, Cameron Road set up shop on field three to protect their lead at the top of the table. With the Jugglers tying before them, the Honey Badgers could build up a bit of a f-up barrier with a win against Balcones Fault and their boring green uniforms. The troops were…
It was sweet sweet revenge for Cameron Road today as they leapfrogged The Jugglers to go back into first place on Jefe’s birthday. Jefe was there in spirit, as his physical body had been consuming mushrooms and margaritas since 6am as he received a day off to extend the celebrations. #sakibomb It was a (shocker)…
It was a typical Texas weekend. Saturday was miserable and rainy, but Sunday was glorious, sunny with a chill in the air. So much of a chill at the wee hours of the morning that Jake turned up with a jet engine to keep everyone nice and toasty….. with the slight possibility of burning down…
Three months off and the Honey Badgers kicked off their season with a tough loss on field 10 out at Onion Creek. The numbers were solid with four subs. Derek was back on the pitch, Chappy was still not ready to suit up and Ciro was (presumably) cold somewhere. New Brian, who is actually original…
Hopefully these Elephants do forget, because they’ve been beaten 24-0 in two games against the explosive Honey Badgers. When you lose two games on the trot, the Elephants are the perfect medicine to make all the pain go away. With one sub at their disposal (what a treat!), Cameron Road hit the pitch on a…
Thanks to Jefe for the mostly coherent recap….. Dateline: Austin’s False Fall, Sunday, October 31 – Halloween. Would last week’s slip-up with only a 7 man squad still haunt the Honey Badgers, or would they turn things around and get back to their winning ways? Would their be a victory feast of quality candy inside…
Now that’s a headline baby! Like the 300 Spartans at the Hot Gates of Thermopylae, the severely outnumbered Honey Badgers faced an onslaught of Juggalos, fresh from the Gathering. In a perfect storm of vacations, Covid restrictions, injuries and previous engagements, only 7 Honey Badgers were available to make the trek to Manor on a…
As summer continued to cling to Onion Creek for one last weekend, the field was sweltering like a Cinnabon oven. Badgertown was unusually tentless and sub-free. But there was a cool spider sighting. Usually, a lack of subs could pose a problem on a hot day, but as the Ol’Boys gathered up on the sidelines…
That’s right, you read it here first. Cameron Road defeated Manchester United’s Over 40 squad on Sunday afternoon at Onion Creek. Austin promised several inches of rain this weekend, but instead delivered a hot, humid, ragweed infused sweatshop of a pitch to do battle on. The Honey Badgers were welcoming back most of missing post-pandemic…
Field 10. The Treeline. A slight dew on the field. Jefe nestled inside Badgertown. Late players. Toddlers. A Jeff Z sighting! Ol’Schwarzy! Sweltering Texas heat. The scene was set for game #2 in this young Fall Season. The Honey Badgers were looking for a more competitive game this week and they got it from a…
An Adam’s Arms Story…. After receiving Zeke’s latest email, the subject and quality of his content brought me great sadness. I yearned both for soccer and for match reports of said soccer from the #1 AMSA Over 30A Team Website in the Universe. And with that I bring you… 5:45 AM – Zeke receives…
Somewhere out there in the flux of time and space, there’s a parallel universe that is exactly like ours – except for two very key differences. The first is that there is no Corona Virus. The second is that instead of a hot plate to cook his nightly tomato soup, Ryan Willis has a Stainless…
Let’s get one thing straight, this was a glorious day for Cameron Road United. The victorious weekend on the pitch all started with a birthday celebration for Jefe on Friday, as McKenna showed true Badger hospitality at The Grove in the form of tequila shots, wine (both kinds….red and white) and classic Italian entrées. Unfortunately, he…
Cameron Road took another one on the chin today on the first day of March as they fell to ATX United 4-0. But that didn’t tell the whole story as the scoreline flattered ATX. For most of the 90 minutes the game was a closely played chess match. The Badgers knew they might be in…
There just may be a reason Galacticos are currently 22 points ahead of Cameron Road this early in the season. Could be their excellent passing and shooting. Or it could be that the Honey Badgers still haven’t awoken fully from their Premier League hangover. Whatever the case, it was a fairly miserable Sunday at ye’old Onion…
A new year, a new decade, and the Match Report is back baby! And what a way to start of 2020 as Cameron Road United unleash their counter attack to perfection with a 3-1 victory against the Madrigal Dragons. Been a long time coming, yes indeed, but the Honey Badgers are off and running on…
The Soccer Gods have not been kind to Cameron Road this calendar year. A few wins and countless heartache was dished out by the tree line. Character was built up. Life lessons were learned. Patience was tested. But through it all, the Honey Badgers remained a formidable opponent, always ready to fight back when trapped in…
With injuries, out-of-towners, and “maybees” depleting the Cameron Road roster for the week, 10 brave Badgers manned Onion Creek like the Spartans at the Hot Gates. It was a media blackout, but reliable sources said Cameron Road fought well, gave the good fight, enjoyed some fantastic soccering weather, and drank a beer or seven after the game….
The Honey Badgers hoped to maintain a bit of momentum coming off the draw with the Punters, and next up on the schedule was Verity. Verity is another beer and grill loving thorn in the Honey Badgers side from years past. They are pretty big, and do a good job of moving the ball around….
The bi-annual rite of passage for Clark Field Supremacy was on display yesterday as the Honey Badgers and Punters squared off for their cathartic grudge match. Could Cameron Road bust out of their slump and get a result, fueled by Luke’s glorious motivational email and the watchful eyes of the tree line? Slim numbers and…
